Fault in construction cases can involve employer negligence, defective equipment, or dangerous site conditions. We examine the facts, gather evidence, and determine who may be liable, including subcontractors and property owners.
Compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, among other damages. The amount depends on the severity of injuries, the impact on daily life, and future medical needs.
In many cases, you can pursue both workers’ compensation and a separate personal injury claim against at-fault parties. We explain how these avenues interact and coordinate your case.
